Victory Elementary Jonah’s Bookshelf - The Victory Elementary School Library now features a red bookshelf in honor of Jonah Diaz, a 1st grade student who passed away from brain cancer in 2015. Since Jonah was an avid reader who would want children to have access to their favorite books, the bookshelf theme is "hot books"- the books that are in highest demand and most checked out. If you are interested in helping with Jonah’s Bookshelf, please consider donating by ordering a hardcover book from the Amazon Wish List (https://amzn.com/w/170UTCWWVTS1G or search “Victory Elementary Jonah’s Bookshelf” in Amazon Wish LIst) or by dropping off an Amazon gift card at the Victory library. Thank you!
